Join our Cisco Champions as they have a conversation with Cisco’s Chuck Stickney of the Cisco DevNet Partner Ecosystem team. They discuss the difference between Partner Specialization vs. Career/Individual Certifications; how Partner Specialization helps partners and what is required to be part of the program; how the three (3) tiers differ; Business vs. Architectural specialization; and do partners need to have an existing software channel? Lastly, we answer the burning questions: Is “Soft Serve referring to Ice Cream or Software? And, will Paul Giblin come out of DevNet Certification retirement?
